Overview

About 26 Ridley Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

26 Ridley Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Cropston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7HB). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 56.1% above the 2016 sale of £307,500. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Ridley Close is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 7HB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 26 Ridley Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 Ridley Close was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 Ridley Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 7HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Ridley Close is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
